Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Unknown Asilidae from Croatia => Ancylorhynchus glaucius (male)

Reinoud,

There is a recent revision of the genus in tropical Africa (Londt, 2011 - A review of Afrotropical Ancylorhynchus...African Invertebrates 52: 471-556). The Palaearctic spp. must need revision; I don't know of any complete keys since Engel, 1930. My identification of A. glaucius was made by comparing specimens determined by M. Hradsky I have with the photo. I only have males, so can't describe the sexual dimorphism in the species, but there must be some.

Cheers,

Eric
